Regardless of whether people are willing or not, time always moves forward unswervingly and never stops for anyone or anything.
So it soon arrived at 9 a.m. on December 24th, Capital Time, which is also 9 p.m. Eastern Time.
Countless people on both sides of the ocean are refreshing Fairy Company's DreamStars official website and are concerned about the release of Fairy Company's DreamStars.
Now Qiao Gangzhu's press conference has not become a benchmark in the industry, nor is it like around 2013, when individuals dared to go on stage to release their own smart products. This is simply a joke.
Fairy Company skipped the press conference because Xiao Qi didn't like to appear in public.
But because all the information about DreamStars was previously displayed through various advertisements, everyone basically has a certain idea of whether they like DreamStars or not.
What everyone is concerned about now is the price of DreamStars. If it is cheaper, more people will definitely buy it. If it is more expensive, there may be fewer buyers.
When the time came, Fairy Company's DreamStars official website immediately changed from its original page to a festive look.
There was an update immediately on the sub-webpages of various major countries and regions regarding the situation of DreamStars.
"DreamStars 16G version is available in the United States, glossy black and silver for US$599, light gold for US$619, and tender pink for US$639."
"DreamStars 32G version is available in the United States, bright black and silver white for 688 US dollars, light gold for 708 US dollars, and tender pink for 728 US dollars."
"The first batch of pre-sales will start immediately. The first batch of sales in the United States is 80,000 units. Among them, there are 35,000 units each in bright black and silver white, 8,000 units in light gold, and 2,000 units in tender pink. Each identity information is limited to 2 units. Various optional accessories are not available.
Subject to restrictions. We will continue to provide free delivery services within certain areas, and the estimated time of delivery to users is between January 1 and 2, 2008."
The sales price of DreamStars is still based on the US selling price, and other countries still follow the price ratio of DreamPad, with price increases and decreases to some extent.
However, the prices in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are 90%, and those in the Mainland are 80%. This point has not changed.
Fans originally only came here to care about the price, but they didn’t expect that a “pre-sale starts” page appeared on the current webpage. To their surprise, many people immediately clicked on it skillfully and chose their favorite DreamPad.
Model, payment successful.
"Didn't you say it was only launched in February? How come it was released so early? Wow! There are 23,060 glossy black units left, how did you get them so quickly!?"
"Haha. What a big surprise. My girlfriend likes the pink DreamStars and said they match her pink DreamPad. I decided to buy one!"
“Oh my God, the price of DreamStars is so expensive! It’s even more expensive than the price of IPHONE!”
"Please upstairs, IPHONE only has a 16G version at most, okay? DreamStars is 32G. If you don't like it, don't be verbose!"
"Hey, hey, are you too cruel? Why did you snatch my light gold DreamStars? It's over! The New York direct store is gone! Damn! I'm not short of money! You should put some more out for me!
"
"Wow haha, I'm so smart. Berlin is no longer available. I went to Paris to order it, and the shipping fee was only 20 euros more at most! But not everyone can buy the tender pink DreamStars!"
"Those people who have morning meetings at work are miserable. I show here that it is 9:12 and all 800,000 DreamStars units in the five directly-operated stores in mainland China have been sold out! Xiao Qi is mighty! Fairy Company is mighty! DreamStars is mighty.
!”
"Telling those gringos to badmouth our Fairy Company? Do you dare not to rush so quickly? Humph! I'm looking forward to seeing how those experts who have badmouthed us before will resist!"
"..."
Basically, everyone who reacted immediately bought DreamStars. However, since the number of 6 million units was dispersed to 70 directly-operated stores in dozens of developed countries, it was simply a drop in the bucket. It was not enough to watch.
After a year of good user experience, DreamPad has accumulated many loyal users. In addition, DreamStars is already excellent. How can people who really like it listen to others and decide not to buy it? Isn't this a joke?
The fastest direct-operated store in New York was sold out within 5 minutes, and the slowest direct-operated store in Madrid was sold out in 15 minutes. 6 million units were sold out in the blink of an eye, leaving only "Thank you."
Support, the next batch of pre-sale time is scheduled for January 4th, please stay tuned."
The news media who got the news were simply stunned.
What!?
Didn’t we agree?
Did you agree that it would only be released in February? Why did you launch a surprise attack so soon?
Didn't we agree that DreamStars can't stand up to the powerful offensive of the Android Alliance? How could we sneak away first? This is so unethical!
As for the data obtained from interviews and surveys, aren't there many people who say they will wait and see? Will they wait until Nokia and Motorola's smartphones are released before making a decision?
6 million units of DreamStars are not 6 million units of ice cream! The price is so expensive! How could it be sold out so quickly?
It’s unscientific!
While all the major media were in disbelief, many large TV stations immediately broadcast live programs saying "6 million units of DreamStars were sold out instantly, and the power of fans is crazy!"
During this period, a CNN host was sitting on the live broadcast stage, and his first reaction was to make a phone call.
"Hello, Mr. Robert? I'm XX from CNN. I hope I didn't disturb you."
"Haha, it doesn't matter, I'm not sleeping yet anyway."
"I feel very happy to hear your voice. Do you know that DreamStars has been pre-sold worldwide?"
"Of course I know! I just grabbed a shiny black 32G DreamStars! These damn guys, do they need to grab it so fast? The light gold one I was interested in was sold out in less than a minute! FK!"
"Uh...Mr. Robert, I remember when you were interviewed by us a few days ago, you seemed to have said that you still think IPHONE is better?"
"Ah, this... Hahaha! You are such idiots! I'm just saying it casually! As a big man, how could I like a mobile phone like IPHONE that only girls like? That small and compact screen only
Can it be used by BABY? Of course I like DreamStars with a big screen, it’s so manly! It’s so majestic!”
"Well……"
"Okay! I won't bullshit you anymore. I have to go find my friends to have a few drinks to celebrate. Haha, I don't know if Lawn and Pikan can buy them!"
"Dududu..."
In front of tens of millions of viewers across the United States, when the host heard the busy signal to hang up the phone, he felt like he had been slapped twice so hard that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
A few days ago, he vowed to the audience that DreamStars would inevitably fail. Although he was not as firm as the BBC's Lopez, the contrast between his clear attitude back then and the stark contrast now makes him feel ashamed.
Two hours later, Mr. Lopez, the BBC presenter, was also disturbed by many phone calls from viewers who were disturbing a talk show he was holding.
The audience naturally came to laugh at his vision. From the feat of selling out 6 million units of DreamStars in 15 minutes, Fairy Company obviously had a good start.
With so many phone calls, and the laughter from the audience nearby, Lopez also became angry during the live broadcast. He wanted to find a helper, so he pulled up the director who was standing in the audience.
"Martinez, please tell everyone, is DreamStars not as good as IPHONE, and can't it be compared with Nokia and Motorola? Isn't it shameless to sell mobile phones in such a secretive manner!?"
"Yes!" the bearded director said righteously.
"Very good, then tell everyone, are those people who are desperately trying to grab DreamStars brainless idiots?" Lopez continued with satisfaction.
"Uh..." Martin Reis muttered.
Lopez was such a smart man. He immediately changed his expression and asked subconsciously, "Martinez, dear, my brother, you won't tell me that you are also one of those rush buyers, right?"
"Oh, I don't want to buy it." Martinres looked helpless, "But Lopez, you forgot that there are such creatures as girlfriends in this world! My girlfriend worked overtime today and didn't have time, so she asked me to give it to her.
I rushed to buy two... I have been busy from morning to just now, and I just have no time to spare! This kind of rush buying is really exhausting."
"SHIT! Beach! FK!" Lopez couldn't help but cursed three times in a row.
But this made the audience nearby and the audience next to the TV laugh heartily.
No matter when and where, watching others get slapped in the face is always a happy thing!
